| The free Linux operating system doesn't reveal its charms easily, but charms
| it has. You just have to know how to make the software work for you.

| That will become easier next weekend for those in the Los Angeles area, which
| plays host to the annual Southern California Linux Expo at the LAX Westin
| hotel.
|
| Created in the early 1990s to be a freely distributable copy of the Unix
| operating system, Linux has grown tremendously.

| It's been five years since the first Free Java developer meeting at FOSDEM.
| It's amusing to look back to how a bunch of nice people first met there,
| sharing the dev room with Debian, to discuss packaging and steps towards
| liberation of Java. It makes me feel like an old guy. At the same time, it
| makes me feel like someone with a lot of old friends, so that's not so bad,
| after all. Not bad at all.

|
| The final set of talks was devoted to community building, priorities and
| everything around that. Petteri Räty spoke on recruiting, communication, and
| lessons learned from the Gentoo Java project's efforts to expand the set of
| developers, and share the workload of maintaining many packages onto many
| shoulders.

Turning Linux’s Advantages in to Advantages

| This is how you install and update software on Windows:
|
| 1. Open a web browser.
| 2. Download an executable file from an (often un-verified) source.
| 3. Press next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, finish.
| 4. Launch your software.
| 5. Wait for each individual piece of software to nag you about the latest
| update. (”Logitech is going to look for updates…,” “Adobe PDF Reader
| version 8.4 is available. Please install it now,” “QuickTime needs an
| update (hey, mind if we sneak Safari in there, too? *wink*)”)
|
| On Linux, on the other hand, it works something like this:
|
| 1. Open Add/Remove programs.
| 2. Press a check mark and hit apply.
| 3. Launch your software.
| 4. Sit back as your software is automatically updated.
